I have also taken a couple of your teleseminars when I needed more encouragement. You really inspired me to push out to be an entrepreneur. I have been working as a nurse and was searching for a way to get out and start my own business, but was not sure in what area I wanted to go.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I have finally taken the plunge! I will be leaving nursing (always keeping my license current though) and starting massage therapy school on 2\/25 in Sedona, Arizona. I can&#8217;t wait to start this new chapter of my life. I am forever grateful to nursing for all it has taught me and helped me grow as a person.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Massage therapy school is just the start; ultimately, I want to get into energy medicine.\u00a0In the meantime, I will continue doing the photography business on the side. As I love taking photos and inspiring others to follow their passions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The hardest thing about leaving my job was the false sense of security it gave me. This has caused me to pass up opportunities in the past, because I was too afraid.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">In January I prayed with my whole heart for an answer as to what I should do with my life and to keep an open mind, not expecting to leave nursing so soon. That night at work one of the nurses I work with told me I should look into moving to Arizona. It was totally out of the blue. I was trying to pursue a nursing job down there, but nothing was coming through.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Then a few days later, my Mom called me up and told me I should look at becoming a massage therapist. My Mom has never done this before, as she buys into the theory of never leaving a &#8220;secure, steady paying&#8221; job. So on 1\/16, I called up several massage schools and found this amazing school in Sedona! I will be leaving Seattle exactly one month to the day when my Mom called me to check out massage therapy school. This is one of the fastest moves and most drastic changes I have ever done in my life, but it feels so RIGHT! It is also one of the smoothest and least stressful moves I have ever done. The only stress I feel from this move is when my brain tries to scare me about financial worries.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I look forward to taking more teleseminars from you, maybe even a seminar as I will be close to Vegas now. For the drive from Seattle to Sedona I&#8217;ll be listening to your <a href=\"https:\/\/changingcourse.com\" class=\"extlink\">Making Dreams Happen<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Thanks again for the encouraging me to not be afraid to step out of my comfort zone.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Denise Beck<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00b0\u00b0\u00b0\u00b0\u00b0\u00b0\u00b0\u00b0\u00b0\u00b0\u00b0\u00b0\u00b0\u00b0\u00b0\u00b0\u00b0\u00b0\u00b0\u00b0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Opportunity knocking?<\/strong> Here\u2019s an invitation for you to share your expertise and expand your market at the same time.
